    Croatia are in with a good chance to make the final, and if they get that far anything can happen on the day. They have an outstanding midfield

    France will beat them. French are fast and play good football. French attack will beat Ur.defense.

    Unlike mate.they had 3 goals scored against them by a very poor Argentinian side.playing Uruguay who have only conceded 1 goal will be a whole different scenario for them.

    We shall see.
    Uruguay could hardly score at the group stage. They knocked out Portugal (one man team...with bad defense). Game vs Russia was just a pure luck.
    They are slow. French are fast. Argentina is still a good side.

    Lol 3 goals vs Russia was pure luck??thats great analysis .portugal sure has achieved alot for a one man team havent they.in terms of france it takes a touch more than speed to be a great team bud and I'm not sure what cup you're watching if you rate Argentina as a good team.id say it's fair to say if argentina was a good team they would nt be on their way home.

    Uruguay scored only a goal in each game against Saudi Arabia and Egypt..., then they played Russia (where the hosts benched some of the key players...as they did not plan to win...
    cause they thought Portugal will win the group...
    Suarez scored a goal due to the keeper's mistake and after that the second goal was a deflection and then the whole second half they played against 10 men...) Come on...
    Now let's have a look at Portugal. A draw with Spain, then a draw with Iran, then a 1-0 win against Morocco.

    And one more thing, Cavani maybe injured.

    I'll give you $5 if France loses...

    Actually, I was being facetious - Optus's widely publicised issues with their app causing many people to miss the very games they had paid specifically to see caused a huge loss in reputation and severe brand damage.

    They were initially forced to concede 48 hours of additional coverage to SBS while they worked to fix their technical issues, which then stretched to cover all of the group matches, and then finally all the finals as well.

    So Optus spent millions of dollars acquiring the rights to destroy their own brand.

    Whoever was in charge of their infrastructure needs to get the sack. "We underestimated the level of demand" ... for the most widely watched sporting event in the world? Seriously?

    After Optus Sport fail, SBS to simulcast rest of 2018 World Cup

    How SBS made the media deal of the century

    The key lesson from #floptus that Foxtel and others must heed

    My dream is a Belgium-England final. The dream remains alive, thanks to poor old Japan having its hearts broken. (I had a feeling it would happen).

    My head tells me Brazil have too many players capable of doing something special. They are in the Q/F seemingly still on cruise control.

    YES! I don't like him for what he did to Salah but he is the sort of player I would rather on my team than playing against. Like all the best players.

    This is true. I'll not be surprised if bribery or cheating allegations surface against Russia fairly soon after the cup. Putin and Russia are excellent and playing their cards ( not necessarily soccer) to win...
